Alfred Beautour Video (1973)

Alfred Beautour, leopard act, in the French TV show La Piste aux Etoiles, filmed at the Cirque d'Hiver in Paris. The absence of music at the beginning of the act is not for effect, but because the cats had arrived just a few hours before the recording, and were not used to the place or even the cage, which belonged to and was used by another trainer in the same show. In this video, Alfred Beautour appears understandably a little tense; his style of presentation was usually faster and a little more fluid and relaxed. (1973)
